One thing I like doing is browsing the ‘upcoming releases’ for books and films. It gets me really excited to see the names of authors I love publishing books and see names I’ve never heard of coming out with something really interesting.

Here are some new book releases, from both favourite authors and new, that are coming out this month:

Twins who couldn’t be more different, Adina and Tovah are eighteen years old and on their own paths in life. One is going into music, the other into medicine; one turns to religion in tough times, the other delibertably goes against it.

The only theing they have in common is a test: to see if either of them have Huntingtons, a degenerative genetic disorder that has turned that mother into a shell. The twins are torn even farther apart when one tests positive and the other negative. Will they be able to salvage a relationship and have a future?

In the small town of Madison, wishes come true. Every person gets a wish, but these wishes don’t always have the best results. Eldon has seen the results of these wishes and knows that everything doesn’t always work out. Despite the wishes coming true, Eldon realizes they might not be the solution or the way to find happiness.

A series of short stories by today’s favourite young adult authors, each story tells of a first meeting. From meeting through the internet to meeting on the subway, each story has a different emotion to it, but is no less real.

Maya Aziz is living in three worlds: the first is her parent’s world; the second is her own; the third is the real world. In one she is the perfect Indian daughter; in the second she is living her dreams and doing what she loves. In the third the world is a scary place where a crime that takes place far, far away from where she is still results in people she’s known all her life being taken over by fear and hatred.

Alice’s summer is looking to be perfect. She’s got friends, food, TV, and is going to be working just enough to pay her rent. But she’s also newly single and, despite having no plans of dating, things take an unexpected turn when she meets Takumi. Will she take the chance or not risk it?

Louisa Clark finds herself in some very different cercumstances in, Still Me. Socializing with New York’s high society, working a new job for a rich family, and torn between two completely different worlds – her own and the one she’s in now.

After the death of her grandmother, the author of a book of dark fairy tales, Alice’s bad luck goes from bad to worse. Her mother is kidnapped and the only way to save her is to team up with one of her classmates who just so happens to be a superfan of Alice’s grandmother. Together they will travel to her grandmother’s estate – The Hazel Wood – and to a supernatural world that is a lot more real than Alice knew.

Lainey is a sixteen-year-old girl intent on focusing on her studies. All that changes however when she learns she is a witch, more specifically – A Keeper. Like her mother before her, Lainey can use the power of a powerful spell book, The Grimoire. But before she can use this power, she must first get the book back as it has been stolen by a warlock intent on getting it’s power. Lainey’s simple life is turned upside as she embarks on an adventure to get back the book.
